Filter by:The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two different photobiomodulation (PBM) therapies as an alternative to medical treatment to reduce pain and improve quality of life in patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN).
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety and tolerability of multiple oral doses of EC5026 in male and female patients with neuropathic pain due to spinal cord injury. The main question it aims to answer is whether EC5026 is safe and well tolerated in SCI patients with neuropathic pain. In addition, this trial will also study the effects of EC5026 on pain. Researchers will compare EC5026 to placebo. Participants will be asked to: - Take EC5026 or placebo in a masked fashion, once daily, for 14 consecutive days. - Undergo physical exams, vital signs assessments, ECGs, and blood draws - Complete assessments of pain, sleep, functional status, and perception of change
Aim: This study was conducted to examine the effect of self-applied acupressure on HbA1c and peripheral neuropathic pain in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Background: Acupressure is an effective method for relieving pain, and this effectiveness is explained by the gate control theory and endorphin theory. There is only one study in the literature showing that acupressure reduces diabetic neuropathic pain. However, in this study, acupressure was performed by a trained health professional, not by the patient himself. Measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level is one of the standard methods for long-term management of diabetes and indicates the average blood glucose concentration over a three-month period. As a result of a meta-analysis study conducted in 2023, it was reported that acupressure significantly reduced the HbA1c level. Design: This study was designed as a randomized controlled and experimental type study. Methods: The study is conducted with patients with type 2 diabetes who are followed in the diabetes outpatient clinic of a training and research hospital between May-November 2024. There are 2 arms in the study. The study is conducted with a total of 60 patients, 30 in the control group and 30 in the intervention group. Data collection tools are "Patient Information Form", "Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire - DN4", "Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire - Short Form" and "Self-Acupressure - Satisfaction Evaluation Form with Visual Analogue Scale". While patients in the control group continue to receive routine care, patients in the intervention group are given self-acupressure training. Patients who receive training perform acupressure on their own 3 days a week for 3 months and record it on the follow-up form.
The primary aim is to investigate the frequency and severity of neuropathic pain and its association with night pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis. For this purpose a progressive longitudinal study design was planned. The secondary aim is to investigate the relationship between night pain and neuropathic pain and sleep quality.
This goal of this study is to determine whether a novel biologic, i.e., an "amniotic suspension allograft" (ASA) will reduce pain and improve quality of life (QoL) in women stricken with chronic pelvic pain (CPP). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Weather pain in the genitalia is reduced with treatment - Weather bladder or urination pain is reduced with treatment - Weather any adverse events occur following treatment Patient responses to pain and QoL will be collected before and 6-12 months after treatment.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of HSK16149 capsule in the treatment of moderate to severe central neuropathic pain compared with placebo.
Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients with head and face PHN who met the requirements were selected as trial subjects, and the efficacy was clarified in a randomized controlled design trial. The visual analog score VAS was used as the primary evaluation index, and the depression self-assessment scale score , Hamilton depression scale, Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale, and quality of life evaluation scale (SF-36) were used as the secondary evaluation indexes, and oral pregabalin was used as the control group, and the subjects in the pregabalin and the plexus superficial stabbing combined with electroacupuncture groups were observed respectively at the time of Before treatment, immediately after the first treatment, after 2 days of treatment, after 2 weeks of treatment, after 4 weeks of treatment, after 1 month of follow-up after the end of treatment and after 2 months of follow-up after the end of treatment.
This application addresses the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program Investigator-Initiated Research Award FY21 W81XWH-22-CPMRP-IIRA area of Chronic Pain Management Research Program- The investigators will utilize subjects who have sustained ankle fractures and may develop chronic pain following bone union. No attempt will be made to affect the experimental outcome in the subjects. This study will adhere to a core set of standards for rigorous study design and reporting to maximize the reproducibility and translational potential of research.
This study is aimed to evaluate outpatient ketamine infusion within a military chronic neuropathic pain population and its effect on PTSD. Currently, this is a pilot study with 30 participants. Participants will be randomized to (1) a moderate dose ketamine, (2) moderate dose ketamine +Mg, or (3) a magnesium control group. Participants will complete self-reported pain and PTSD questionnaires throughout the ~24-week study period. The outlined strategy will provide evidence for the utility of ketamine in neuropathic pain management and pain associated comorbidities within a military population.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using ECAP (electrically evoked compound action potential)-controlled CL (closed-loop) SCS (spinal cord stimulation) to treat chronic pelvic pain by stimulating an area in the spine called the conus medullaris (the lowermost tapering extremity of the spinal cord).
